    Earth's Crust Seismic Waves Seismometers

    Uploaded by

    Esah Zaharah
    Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves, shaking the surface of the Earth from barely felt tremors to violent movements that can destroy buildings and kill thousands. They are measured using seismometers and the largest in history have exceeded magnitude 9. Effects include tsunamis, floods and landslides.

    An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth.

    It can be violent enough to


    destroy major buildings and kill thousands of people. The shaking can range from barely
    felt to violent enough to toss people around. Earthquakes have destroyed whole cities.
    They result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic
    waves. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. The largest
    earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9. The most recent
    large earthquake was in Japan in March 2014. It was the largest Japanese earthquake
    since records began. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but
    also by other events such as volcanic activity. Some of the effects of earthquakes include
    tsunami, floods and landslides.
